With the NBA season quickly approaching, Jeremy Lin has been getting back into the swing of things both on and off the court. On the court, the 25-year-old star has reportedly been working with Hakeem Olajuwonon his postgame. Off the court, he’s been doing interview after interview explaining what his goals for next year are, and how he hopes to put the successes and failures he experienced as a result of Linsanity behind him.

Recently, Lin sat down with Jason Friedman of Rockets.com. It was an interesting back-and-forth, but the most humorous part came when they discussed Chandler Parsons’ recent advice column in ‘Seventeen’ magazine.

JL: (laughs) I guess it depends on how serious he wants to be at the time. He’s definitely smart and knows what he’s talking about, but it depends on whether or not he wants to be serious at the time. He’s a clown. He’s a funny guy. But at the end of the day, he knows what he’s talking about so I’d be interested to hear what he said. I didn’t even know that happened. I’m definitely going to talk to him about that one.
